Follow the ATAR Pathway

If you’re considering a career in the fields of engineering or architecture, then a university pathway is the one to follow.

In addition to these traditional areas of the industry, there are specialist university qualifications in Construction Management and Economics, Environmental Management, Interior Design and Town Planning that are available to individuals who have the desire and passion to influence the future of the built environment.

Remember, all undergraduate university courses have entry pre-requisites for school leavers and mature-age students, so make sure you do your research beforehand.

Enhance your existing career

Career pathways in building and construction are many and varied. Some careers may begin with a university qualification, while others can be enhanced by undergraduate or post-graduate degrees as part of a long-term career plan.
